For Sale or Trade: Gear for Boat

[The Nomad]

G’day folks,


Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this kind of request (suggestions for other websites most welcome), I’m helping out on a boat-building project based in Kilifi Bay, Kenya. The boat, Musafir, is a 70-foot traditional dhow being built by volunteering travellers possessing a variety of skills and talents (everybody is welcome to help out. Food and accommodation is provided).


For more information about the project, check out musafir.org


I’m providing here a list of things we need for the boat. If anyone knows of anyone selling or willing to donate (shipping costs are on us) any of the following, we’ll be eternally grateful:


- 250hp engine or a 6 cylindar inline
- Bilge pump plus spare parts
- 3” shaft propeller with 4 large rotors
- 4 x solar panel at 150 watts
- GPS
- Fish Finder
- CB Radio
- Antenna
- Life raft
- Inflatable dinghy
- Circuit board for the electronics
- Batteries
- Power invertor
- Cruising books
- Charts
- Navigation Lights
- SCUBA compressor + dive equipment


Thanks! Happy sails
